Wide receiver Evan Stewart bypassed the 2025 draft to return to Oregon for his senior season. Now, he might miss the season. According to multiple reports, Stewart tore a patellar tendon this week. It is unknown how the knee injury occurred.

The former five-star prospect transferred from Texas A&M to Oregon last offseason. Stewart caught 48 passes for 613 yards and a career-high five touchdown receptions during the 2024 campaign. Stewart didn't play in Oregon's 41-21 loss in the Rose Bowl to Ohio State due to a lower back injury.
